Hello, Well I've been interested in starting my own game for a while now, but haven't put much thought into it, it may be a long shot, but it is something I really do want to pursue.

Here's a detailed description on the type of game I'm hoping to develop.

Game: I'm trying to go with a medieval/Olden times theme kind of like runescape, with many Skills/Stats to train to occupy a players time and keep them playing!, The game would start as a simple Online RPG and eventually evolve into an MMORPG in which we could charge for Membership/V.I.P, etc.. This game hasn't had too much thought thrown into it, but I'm still working very hard at by Learning Java and jotting down my ideas.

Skills/Stats: Here are a few of my ideas of skills/stats for players: (All skills/stats will start at level one, the skill/stat will be mastered at level 100, your combat level will increase when Combat-based stats are leveled up (Melee,Archery,Sorcery)

Melee Stats:
Strength: The Higher the level, the more you hit.
Agression: The Higher the level, the higher the chance of hitting a number on the opponent.
Protection: The Higher the level, the less you are hit when being attacked.
Hitpoints: Simple; Health.

Other Attack Forms:
Archery: Being able to use a Bow n' arrow on your opponent (Being able to attack your opponent from a safe area(behind something))
Sorcery: Being able to use several different types of magic spells on your opponent(Also being able to safe zone your opponent)

Skills:
Fishing:
Being able to fish your own RAW food to cook for battles, or maybe to make a little money! (the higher the level the better food you may fish.)
Cooking: Cook any kind of non-cooked food or fish you have fished using your fishing skill!
Woodcutting: Cut wood to sell or start a fire to cook your food.

I have many more ideas, but these ideas will be submitted to the team, and get there feedback on it!

So I'm trying to put a team together, in which I will explain further on about.

Myself: I've been recently studying Java, and a bit of 2D/3D modeling, once I have finished learning Java, I'll move on to C/C++, and continue on from there.

Team: I'm looking for many experienced coders/level designers/modelers. First of all I'd need someone/people that are experienced with C/C++/Java, another person/people that are expirienced with PhotoShop and level design and have much creativty/imagination, and last I'd need someone/people that are experienced with PhotoShop, and many other Modeling Programs such as AutoDesk 3ds Max. (It'd be very helpful if Team Members would throw in there ideas for the game)

This is about as much as I'll post, much more details will be submitted to the team, if you are needing anymore informations, just ask.
